Survivor 4/14

The grin is one of his best features. Check out these pics from his college paper- ultra cute.

From Sampiro’s link:

9148 voted and the first place and second place candidaes only got 3280 and 926?

Must have been a lot of different factions.

Showing once again, Ian is a consensus choice!

Good lord, it was a Penn State student government election! There are usually at least 15 “parties” running, and at least 12 of those are running on something like “more chairs in the Paul Robeson Center meeting room” or “Froot Loops available for breakfast in the Commons”…

Oh. Well, I’m a bit defensive, aren’t I? :dubious: You make a good point that I had not considered. I myself would have jumped for donuts. And then I would have used those donuts (and my Powers of Awesome) to convince Ian that he needed to take me, right there on the spot, but that’s a whole 'nother issue, innit?

Plus, my husband (PSU Eng '93) says a lot of the people who bother to vote (aren’t there like 25K+ undergrads at Penn State?) write in “Homer Simpson” and such.

Anyone else think that the donuts would have been a MUCH better reward than the cookies?

Not that I like donuts more than cookies, but they are SO filling.

If I’d been out there and Jeff offered the donuts, I would have demanded coffee to go with them. Otherwise, I don’t care.

I can think of only two things that could pull me out of that challenge (I could stand there for hours, I think): an extra-large Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, or a big heaping plate of tortellini alfredo.

Or Ian offering sex, of course. :wink:

I don’t understand why it was so important for Tom to win immunity, except out of pure ego. No way was he going home last night.

Tom’s got too much ego, and his little boy’s got too much ego when Tom’s around. This will make me unpopular in this thread I know, but they both can go now. I don’t like the tight little cool guy clique. The Tarzan/Boy thing was cute at first, now it’s nauseating.

Tom’s not playing the game to lose, or to quit. He’s playing to win, by being physically dominant.

Apparently, he hasn’t watched the show since Africa, since that’s the last time that strategy worked…

IIRC, She was looking at Coby when he was eating the donut. I thought maybe she said something that would have given away the ending. I thought Coby KNEW he was going.

They beat the second place candidates by 926 votes. So Rosenberger and Morgan got 3280 votes and Davis and Ryan got 2354 votes for a total of 5634 votes. Other candidates collectively received 3514 votes.

This is in part why I said earlier that now, while he has a strong majority alliance, he should let someone else win a challenge or two. I think he should lay low until Janu and Caryn (and preferably Gregg) are gone. Nobody likes an Immunity Monster (right, Colby?), but it’s hard to hate a guy who proves he’s human once in a while by slipping up. 'Course, the view is great from these here cheap seats …

After having thought about it, I have to give Coby some credit. He DID, in fact, kick ass in pretty much every challenge he was involved in. Good at the physical stuff, like pushing the redneck off the platform, and good at mental challenges, like the awesome come-from-behind doing the word jumble after swimming to get he pieces.

I still think he was one of the most annoying contestants ever, but, I think he was a legitimate threat. Not that he’d outwit or outlast you, but that he’d simply kick your friggin’ ass in the next immunity challenge.

Coby was kicking ass in the challenges. But c’mon, he was competing against the Ulongs - everybody was kicking their ass.

I noticed that I misread that shortly after posting. I was just hoping no one else would… :smack: :smiley:

I did my taxes yesterday. I guess I got so locked into adding and substracting numbers I went on autopilot.

If only you’d have gone to H&R Block.

(Even Survivor THREADS have to have product placement!)

Ugh, now I need some Scope to wash the bad taste of that joke out of my mouth.

Was it the bad taste of the joke or the bad taste of Pringles?

Can’t wait until they give somebody one of those butt-ugly yellow pickups. “Gee. Great. Thanks!”

thought bubble: “Well, there goes my chance at winning, but at least I got a tan and an ugly-as-sin car outta the deal…”
